After my recent post on a startlingly pristine 1983 Dodge Shelby Charger, a local Oppo, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ,

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Alongside that unlikely slow Shelby lies a number of other out-of-place classics. And also some that are not so classic, from Honda minibikes to a 28,000 mile Ford Tempo . Their mainstay seems to be big American sedans and ex-police cars. However, they appear to stock literally any vehicle that is very good condition, no matter how old, obscure, or difficult to sell it might be, and all at exorbitant prices. Many of these 40 ye ar old 40k mile cars are mixed in with high mileage minivans! Just who are selling to anyways?

So without further adieu, I give you the best of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

!!! UNSUPPORTED LINE BREAK IN HEADER !!!

That is a nice looking wagon! That red color really does it justice, especially those low contoured taillights.

I have the feeling this would be about 120% more sellable in a place that gets more an 2 inches of snowfall a year. In Colorado, this would be gone in seconds. Too bad it is already sold, since we don’t get to know how much someone overpaid for it.

!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!

Here’s a little something for th e space crab himself! 100,000 miles on a Toyota pickup is pretty much unheard of. It is an automatic, but the durable interior still looks factory fresh. The bed is slightly worn in on the sides, but the bed mat is sure to have kept the floor nice. Sold, so no price listed.

!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!

The dealer is about 5 years too late to sell this thing for $6,000. Most people would pay to not drive this outdated retro-chic convertible. Either way, a cheap Fiat 500 convertible would do everything this can do but better, provided you aren’t crazy enough to fit someone in the back seat.

!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!

Wow, that interior is. . . very 70s. Very 70s indeed.

I actually didn’t know this flying buttressed vinyl- roofed version existed, but I get the feeling this is not the most desirable version of the Mustang. But still, even the rubbers and the vinyl roof looks perfect. How did this one owner car survive this long in showroom condition? I assume the panel gaps were factory. Still, $16,000 seems just a little steep.

!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!

Wow, umm, I’m not sure what you are supposed to do with this. It’s too perfect and too old to make a good family car, yet it is also just a basic old economy wagon (I wish those still existed). Some eccentric has already snapped it up, so we don’t get to know the price, which was probably too high. It was a V6, too!

!!! UNSUPPORTED LINE BREAK IN HEADER !!!

I don’t think Dakotas can be found this clean very often at any price. I’m sure they can get in the ballpark of their $7,000 asking price, especially considering they don’y make em this small and useful anymore. And this looks to have a ton of options, including an expensive looking factory tape player.

Of course, there are a lot I didn’t feature, such as some sort of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . However, that will do it for this series. Which ride would you go home with?

Ever since I started participating on Jalopnik and Oppo I’ve started having this strange obsession with boxy wagons. You people are such a bad influence.

That Cavalier wagon, mmmmm.

Looking through the inventory, I still say the Accord is the deal there.

Subaru would also likely find a buyer in the PNW, those early Legacy are finally aging off the roads here, and most of them are really used up.

Agreed, we are the worst enablers ever

That is probably the most desirable car here actually. And yes so much the Accord

They’re not over priced. Try to find a comparison vehicle in similar condition. They’re specialty cars priced for a unique buyer. It would be a real shame to sell them at beat er prices to people just looking for transportation.

Some are, but you should see the rest of their inventory's pricing.

I’d honestly consider this for a family hauler.

Kinja'd!!!

A 1997 Chry sler T & C. Just under 60K miles for $6,900. Really clean, fairly loaded out, and rust free. My wife & I had a 2001 Caravan that was a great van when we had small kids. Now that they’ve hit the late teens, early twenties, a van would look good for the stretch out room. And, it’s a nice shade of green.

You are not the first to bring this up. Longvoyager and another (?) we re pretty enthusiastic as well in another post. Especially if you could get them down a few hundred.
